- Market demand for Distributed Resource (DR) products such as PV inverters and wind energy systems is steadily growing as the world strives for clean renewable energy sources. This demand has created a need for rigorous regulation testing to standards like UL 1741SA / IEEE 1547 / IEC 62116 which ensure proper and safe operation of on-grid products. It has become critical to manufacturers to conduct these tests in order to prove compliance and to relieve product liability concerns. Chroma’s new 61800 family of Grid Simulators has been designed to fulfill these test requirements by providing a full 4 quadrant, fully regenerative, grid simulator with advanced features for compliance, safety and product verification testing.
- The 61800 regenerative grid simulator allows users to vary relevant parameters in order to simulate real world grid environments and conditions. Supported variations include frequency, phase angle, voltage amplitude, voltage drops in either single or three phase modes. Unbalanced three phase conditions can easily be simulated. And most importantly, the regenerative feature of the 61800 grid simulator provides an effective energy saving method since energy generated by the unit under test is fed back to the grid instead of dissipated as heat during operation.
- The 61800 grid simulator also meets test requirements for smart grid and EV related test applications, such as Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Energy Storage System (ESS) testing.
- The 61800 is also capable of meeting IEC regulatory standards (such as IEC 61000-3-2/- 3-3/-3-11/-3-12) requirements for AC supplies.
- The 61800 regenerative grid simulator is capable of much more than just product development during R&D. Its extensive features are also valuable during design and quality verification as well as throughout various production stages. Using state-of-the-art digital control technology the 61800 can deliver up to 300VAC at output frequencies ranging from 30Hz to 100Hz. The AC+DC provides support for applications which require a DC offset bias. The 61800 series is also able to provide precision measurements such as RMS voltage, RMS current, true power, power factor, current crest factor and many others. By applying advanced DSP technology, the 61800 can easily simulate power line disturbance (PLD) using LIST, PULSE and STEP modes. Additional features such as the waveform synthesis function allows users to program various distorted harmonic waveforms that are required by some regulatory standards. GPIB (IEEE488.2), RS-232, USB and Ethernet interface are available to control the 61800 grid simulator remotely
